Earlier this week it was confirmed that former Seattle Seahawks defensive deal with Poona Ford had signed with the Buffalo Bills, ending his tenure in Seattle after 5 seasons. Ford reportedly turned down extra money from different groups to play for the reigning AFC East champions, who will as soon as once more be slotted as a contender to a minimum of attain the Super Bowl this season.
Particulars of Ford’s one-year contract have been revealed, and if you happen to’re a type of who wished Ford to remain on the town, put together to be disillusioned at how cheap his deal is.
From the The Buffalo News:
Assured cash: $1.5 million
Wage cap hit: $2.25 million
Enjoying Time incentives: $100,000 for 56% of defensive snaps, $200,000 for 60% and $400,000 for 65%.
Sack incentives: $100,000 for 4 sacks, $250,000 for 5 sacks and $600,000 for six sacks.
Complete contract: 1-year for as much as $3.25 million
Poona went from having the very best cap hit on the 2022 Seahawks roster to uh… rather a lot lower than $10.75 million in Buffalo.
Seattle’s cap state of affairs shouldn’t be nice however until Shelby Harris comes again, it seems as if the Seahawks actually did imagine that a part of retooling the protection was wholesale adjustments alongside the line of defense. Harris stays a free agent, Quinton Jefferson and Al Woods are on the Jets, and Poona is with the Payments.
